Administrative Law Issues: Chevron Doctrine and Wealth Tax

One of the key areas of focus for the Supreme Court this term is administrative law issues. Two important cases on the docket are centered around the Chevron Doctrine and the constitutionality of a potential wealth tax. The Chevron Doctrine involves whether courts should defer to administrative agencies' interpretations of ambiguous statutes. The Loper Bright case challenges a regulation that required New England fisheries to pay for fishing monitors, raising questions about the balance of power between agencies and the court system. If the Supreme Court overturns the Chevron Doctrine, it would have far-reaching consequences across all regulated industries. Another noteworthy case is More v. United States, which examines the legality of a one-time tax on unrealized gains and may set the stage for future discussions on a wealth tax.
